Boy, what a way for an emotional kick in the gut..... I got the chance
to meet Dick Criswell at the Texas MG Register Spring GoF. He had
picked up the MGB-GT V8 in Pennsylvania, drove to Houston to visit
family, and then attended the meet. I chatted with him several times
during the course of the weekend. He struck me as a very nice
gentleman, enjoying life and his MGs. Some of you from this list may
remember him by his e-mail name, DamitDick. We discussed his upcoming
trip to
Alaska in the car, and how I wished that I could be going along. He
said that when he heard about it, he just had to go, as it would be a
once in a lifetime trip. My sympathies to his children, grandchildren,
and friends.
